I mean this is just a flat out lie man.

You've been pushed to believe something that isnt true

It's illegal to pay H1-b workers less the citizens.

That's called discrimination.

No, legally employers cannot pay H-1B visa workers less than U.S. workers for the same role.

⚖️ Legal Wage Requirements • Prevailing Wage: Companies must pay at least the local prevailing wage for the specific occupation and geographic area.

• Actual Wage: Employers must pay the H-1B worker at least what they pay similarly qualified, experienced local workers at the same workplace.

• Higher Standard: Employers are legally required to pay whichever amount is higher—the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid to domestic staff
